My son is almost two and for some reason is just scared of men. I have no idea why, his father is rarely ever around and the men he's really around is my stepdad and stepbrother which we're really not around that much because we mainly just stay in our room, (we all live in the same house and me and my son share a room) His dad was physically abusive towards me when he was still an infant (it lasted until he was around 8 months then we finally got out of that situation) I thought that could maybe be a reason why but at the same time wouldn't he have been too little to remember that stuff? My stepdad was just trying to play with him earlier and he started freaking out and crying. I hate that he's like this it makes me feel bad.😔
